I got my visa yesterday after waiting 9 weeks post appointment/interview. thanks to everyone here, most especially @timbs001.
JFYI, I was asked to bring payslip to verify one of my past foreign work experience. So anyone who is applying or has applied for a blue card visa should bear in mind that they can ask for you to provide bank statements to verify your work experience

Justcul:


It depends. If you guys got married before he left Naija for the first time, then you don't need to..

if not, then there are chances VO might recall you. Keep your fingers crossed and go home, hoping for the best.

I hold PR too. My spouse and I paid verification fee.

Stay blessed and good luck!!

Hi,
For blue card, did you submit an A1 certificate or was it a requirement to speak German?
Also, did you use an NPC birth certificate or a declaration? (assuming you were born before 92).
I already had my interview with an NPC cert my parents got for me 11yrs ago.
Although I expect they would request a declaration via mail, I just want to know if anyone else has had success with an NPC cert.

Na wa ooo!!! I am in my 8th week of waiting post bluecard visa interview. This is the longest week of my life ooo. The relocation expert in Germany told me i didn't need a preapproval since my MSc was done in Germany but this delay is saying something else oo. I had my interview on the 12th August. God please intervene

MrAnonymous:
@Codedboy95 said he waited 9 weeks, so I think you'll hear from them soon.
I also think they'll work towards doing everything before your job starts, but if the start date has passed already then maybe contact them.

My own 9 weeks just started :/

Akupeace01:
Hello everyone, please I need help,
My appointment was June 16th, till now no mail or lawyers call, I'm really worried about it, please what should I do next, how can I search for my lawyer for verification.?
Please advise me, thanks.

Merryzu:
Unfortunately, my job start date was 4th October 2022 and i still haven't heard from them. I contacted my employer and i was told it is not a problem since they can always adjust the start date on my contract but i do not know if the German embassy share the same view. It is well ooo. I believe God is in control as always.

Codedboy95:
Sadly, The embassy doesn't care about your start date. My initial start date was 1st of august but because of the delay, my employer kept moving it and now it is November 1st. Why they were not so worried because I started working with them remotely. so maybe you can propose working remotely with them if that is something they are open to but stay positive, I they will get in contact with you next week

VERASONDUBABE:
@Chidi4eze please is the verification and the visa fee still the same? if you don't mind can you help with updates. Thanks

chidi4eze:
Oh sorry, I really can’t tell. My wife and 5 others were denied entry into the embassy last week Friday.




Ahhh soo sorry what is the reason? and will she be given opportunity again or what?

My wife was among them.

Can anyone that recently moved their family (wife and kids) on an EU Blue Card share the duration they waited after the family reunion interview? My wife and kids had their interview on the 6th of September with all documents checking out fine, no need for verification, apartment size confirmed okay, and all things checked out, but we are yet to get a feedback. I’ve emailed the visa back office but no response. I’ll appreciate your help.

jbonito:



What was the reason please? People wait over a year for these appointments.

Corrosive123:

My wife was among them.

Corrosive123:


I understand there was a mix up somewhere. On the attendance list their names were on skilled workers instead of family reunion. It was also said that they do not attend to family reunion visa appointments on Fridays.

VERASONDUBABE:
Were they given new appointment date or they will re-book? Also is it a mistake from them or your wife?
Because to wait for 14 months is not a small thing, ahhhh God

You should call the embassy.
